I am a Mhairi McFarlane fan for sure, so this was an immediate yes please oh please request for me.

Goodreads Synopsis: Eve, Justin, Susie, and Ed have been friends since they were teenagers. Now in their thirties, the four are as close as ever, Thursday night bar trivia is sacred, and Eve is still secretly in love with Ed. Maybe she should have moved on by now, but she can’t stop thinking about what could have been. And she knows Ed still thinks about it, too.

But then, in an instant, their lives are changed forever.

In the aftermath, Eve’s world is upended. As stunning secrets are revealed, she begins to wonder if she really knew her friends as well as she thought. And when someone from the past comes back into her life, Eve’s future veers in a surprising new direction...

They say every love story starts with a single moment. What if it was just last night?

I have to say this one was entirely a surprise for me as it does not feel like a romance novel, Just Last Night instead feels like a delightful meditation on friendships, love, and the bonds of family both the ones we are born into and the ones we make for ourselves.

There definitely is a sweet romance in this book (zero spice in this one FYI), but it was not at all what I was focused on while reading.

Loved Susie, Ed, and Fin but felt that Justin was a bit underdeveloped and more of a punchline than a true character. Beyond the look at relationships, Just Last Night also reminded me we’ll really never know anyone completely and even our closest friends can have their own secrets.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #WilliamMorrowBooks for the opportunity to read this release early in exchange for my honest review!

Just Last Night is available today!

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ 3.5/6 For a sweet and easy read!
